Lamplight (Monticello)

It might even be worth the drive.
Yes I'm assuming you don't live in Monticello, but if you do, please leave a comment.
It's been a while since I was there, but this was my experience. Monticello is a very small town in South-Eastern Utah. They don't have much, but they do have an LDS temple, and they do have The Lamplight.

When you see the Lamplight, the last thing you expect is good eatin'. The out side isn't all that special, but trust me, go in. We actually drove right past it the first time.

Once you get past the door, the experience changes. There's nice furniture, and great ambiance.
And of course the smell of fresh baked bread (I'm seeing a pattern here). The staff is nice, but the food is fantastic. First of course, is your fresh baked bread, they bring you plenty, but save room for the meal! The bread is good, I mean really good, and it comes in loaf form. The second thing I notice is how often my drink is empty. I am happy to report that my drink was filled often. I ordered the BBQ Beef. It was really good. The plate was huge (did I mention 'save room for the food') The BBQ Beef is served open-face, over two slices of their fabulous bread. The portion size was just my style. And the taste was good too.

So if you happen to be in monticello, or you feel like a road trip is in order, I strongly suggest the Lamplight, in Monticello.

I give the lamplight 7 bronze spoons (out of eight)
